Thesis (M.A.)--Villanova University, 2014.

With the meteoric rise of Aristotle in the intellectual life of thirteenth-century Europe, a series of proofs concerning the world's possible eternity took on new meaning. The recovery of various Aristotelian texts, an influx of commentaries from the Arab world, and rapid changes in the size and composition of Western academies all allowed for the radical reassessment of traditional arguments for and against an eternal world. My paper treats the six arguments against the eternity of the world provided by Bonaventure in book two of his Sentence commentary. Utilizing material from the Disputed Questions on the Knowledge of Christ and the Breviloquium, I advance a reading of these six arguments that analyzes the philosophical and theological reasoning behind Bonaventure's rejection of the possibility of an eternal world. I also engage with the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas (who disagreed with Bonaventure on this subject), with the goal of placing the two theological giants in productive dialog. The primary issues I address are whether Aristotle's doctrine of an eternal world implies a realized actual infinity (which is logically reprehensible), and why even the possibility of a potentially infinite past conflicts with the finitude of creation. By analyzing topics such as the nature of the infinite and the doctrine of ex nihilo, I hope to show the continuing tenability of Bonaventure's view.
